1. A moon in the Upper Monastery of Mosul
I am his servant, and he is my master

2. I kissed the cross and said out of envy
The kiss of the beloved, so my mouth is more deserving

3. Make haste to bring me one of them, so my heart may live by it
And so I loved him more than refuge

4. He blushed from shyness, and how many times
My eyes have plucked shy rosebuds from the garden

5. I lost my patience at his separation
And so I knew how the bereaved burn
